Chasing the sun in submarine factory

14/05/2017

Teamwork is our second name. We just love it because all the fun and new ideas for the future.This time we took good old Viks WOODaLIKE, a bike that marks the beginning of our collaboration with Viks distributor in Benelux countries – Velowland, some old friends and new ones and went to discover the fascinating scenery of Port Noblessner, old submarine factory and mine harbour by the Gulf of Tallinn. Once again a historical place that is in the wind of change and will be very different soon.

The history of the port dates back to 1912, when Alfred Nobel’s nephew Emanuel Nobel and a torpedo manufacturer by the name of Lessner established a submarine plant on the site to serve the navy of the Russian Tsar. All photos below were taken in Valukoda (foundry), one of the largest historical industrial buildings in Noblessner port which is also unique in entire Nordic region for its uncommon excels, in extraordinary acoustics and valued by its industrial architecture. Really worth of visiting.

It was sort of mixture of cold, sun and mist in this early April morning that turned these huge premises even more magical. Come check it out yourself.
